”Bang!” An explosive sound could be heard as Chu Li was sent flying toward a ith bronze case into the , one of the elders stretched out a hand and sent Chu Li flying toward himself instead

”Don't touch him!” Xu Zhenshan shouted

The elder then lowered his hand, and Chu Li landed on the ground on his back

Xu Zhenshan reached out a hand to exa his chest and his forehead briefly Then, as he lifted his gaze and looked at the other three elders, he shook his head and said, ”He has breathed his last”

”He's dead?” The three of theestured for them to examine him

After they had each taken their turn to exa felloas a genius at cultivation It's such a tragedy for him to die like this!” a tall and sturdy elder hite beard and eyebrows said with a sigh ”Although he's been somewhat anxious to achieve quick success, his soul is unusually strong This is htened Master's golden body within such a short ahtened Master,” a tall and thin elder beside hihtened Master's energy No one in this world has ever survived a blow fro his death,” a round-faced elder said while he shook his head ”Didn't he know that an Enlightened Master's golden body contains the Enlightened Master's energy? He's an intelligent person, so he should have known that he would be co it Nonetheless, this is quite a unique method to commit suicide!”

The other three men nodded

Everyone here should have been aware that there was still inner energy floithin an Enlightened Master's golden body Thus, anyone who touched it would have to suffer a blow froy, which would certainly have a fatal ione ahead and touched it anyway, so it see his death

”What a pity!” Xu Zhenshan sighed ”He was truly a genius at cultivation”

”There have been countless other cultivation geniuses who have died in this world,” the tall and thin elder muttered with a scoff ”He was the one who had a death wish, so none of us could have stopped hi indeed How should we handle his funeral arrangements?”

”Elder Zhao, a dead person cannot be brought back to life Although no miraculous pills anda blow fro Tian Pavilion first in case so unexpected happens Seven days later, send his body out of the Inner Mausoleum to be buried outside of Adjacent Town”

”Understood” Zhao Xuan nodded

Hence, he picked Chu Li up and brought hi Tian Pavilion

As the air in this hall was unusually cold, dead bodies would not decay when they were kept here

Seven days later, when Zhao Xuan came over, he found that Chu Li's body had becons Therefore, he brought the body out of the Iht to a cemetery outside of Adjacent Town After Zhao Xuan had found a coffin for Chu Li and had placed his body in it, the elderly man buried the coffin He then planted three pine trees at the head of the grave and erected a gravestone for Lu Xuzhou

At dawn, Xiao Qi walked out of her roo exhausted

It was very quiet in the courtyard Aside fro, she had heard no other noise around her

She was not used to not having Chu Li around She would usually feel cal on his bed cultivating andin his room
